I really like the layout. The colors go well together and the banner is very beautiful. Also, the title sounds very interesting and the summary took me in right away.
Possibly one of my favorite lines was the line The salty ocean water was like the Hansen family's blood; it coursed mightily through their veins. I think it's a beautiful comparison, brava!
You can really tell how much the sea means to Thea's family. Although I do think she's going to end up marrying a fisherman ;) all in all, a great story. Good luck with it :)
The banner, a little mysterious, but befitting to the story.
While I'm not quite sure what the deal is - whether Thea (love that name btw) is pre-destined to meet a merman and fall in love, or a mermaid, or something along those lines - I think that the overall plot and tone of the story is interesting enough to keep the reader wanting more. I found no mistakes, no typos etc so that's a definite kudos to you.
This was an interesting read. Good work!
